The Alpine Trail from Caine's Head is one of my favorite places. The views to Resurrection Bay and over to Calisto are awesome. I guess is helps to think that every time I've hiked the trail, the sun has been out. There are berries - blues, salmon, vine, low bush - several cascading waterfalls, tundra ponds and then really nice, swimmable glacier kettles with views over the ocean near the top. Again it is a steep route but well worth the effort. We had lunch up high and then headed back to the cabin to pack up for the walk back to Lowell Point along the beach. Too bad we couldn't bring a boat or two but the north winds the day before would made anchoring difficult or paddling back really tough. Probably the best way to utilize the area is to hike or boat to a cabin and then spend several days enjoying the trails in the area before boating back.
